Selenium 2.0rc1 released

[Simon Stewart]

Hi everyone,

We're really very, very pleased to announce that Selenium 2.0rc1 has
now been released! Hurrah! These are the highlights of this release:

* Grid 2: A major feature of this release is Grid 2, an implementation
of the Selenium Grid that supports WebDriver’s wire protocol, allowing
tests using Selenium WebDriver to be distributed. Naturally, this also
supports your Selenium 1 tests too. There are some docs to help you
get started on the wiki.

* New ChromeDriver: Following a complete rewrite of the ChromeDriver,
Selenium 2 is now supported natively by the Chrome browser itself. In
order to use this, you must download the appropriate chromedriver
executable from the Selenium project site.

* OperaDriver support: We’ve bundled the most excellent OperaDriver
into the release to make it easy to get started testing with Opera.

* Advanced User Interactions: An API that allows you to model complex
user interactions, such as clicking on an element, holding the shift
key, clicking on three more, and then dragging the four elements to a
final destination. The entry point to this API is the Actions class in
the Java world.

The advanced user interactions API marks the final major addition to
the APIs. We have marked a number of classes and methods as being
deprecated, and these will be removed in the next release. Speaking of
which, I'm planning on releasing updates to RC1 on a roughly two-week
basis so that we can respond quickly to issues raised and provide the
best 2.0 release we can.

If you've yet to make the move from the last 1.0.3 release, then I'd
really appreciate it if you could try RC1. It contains a large number
of fixes and improvements, including support for Firefox 4 and above.

Hi,

 

When i try to run the grid 2 with the following option:

 

java  -classpath ".;E:\\NewWorkspace\\CustomHtmlUnitDriver\\bin\\customhtmlunitdriver.jar;./build/java/server/src/org/openqa/grid/selenium/selenium-standalone.jar" org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncher -role wd -hub http://localhost:4444/grid/register -port 5003 -browser browserName=htmlunit,platform=ANY,version=firefox

 

and try to access the grid console with the http://127.0.0.1:4444/grid/console

 

i get an exception in the BrowserNameUtils where it is searching for an image for the browser specified which in my case is htmlunit and i don't see an image for the same.

 

Please help in solving this issue.

 

Regards

Ravi
